The city reminds residents that yard waste is collected on the same day as garbage and recycling. The city said there is no limit to the amount of yard waste residents can put out, but each container or bag has to be lighter than 50 pounds.

Cardboard boxes or paper yard waste bags are acceptable, but the city said yard waste in plastic bags will not be collected.

Residents can also drop off yard waste for free at any 4R Winnipeg depots.
